NOBODY to blame" will not satisfy
the Chatsworth railroad disaster. Some.
body was to blame-either the railroad
company, in neglecting proper super.
vision of its bridges, or outside parties
who deliberately planned the disaster
for purposes of plunder. The railway
authorities will find It to their interest,
OF course, TO show that 1t was pre-.
concerted crime, against which they
could not provide, and of which they
are consequently innocent. The peo-
pie at large have no interest in the
matter except to get at the facts; and
although 1t may be difficult 10 ascer-
tain these facts with exactness, 1t ought
to be possible to learn with a reason.
able degree of accuracy which way the
probabilities point. If the bridge was
In an improper condition. or weakened
from any cause, either by design or
accident; If the prairie grass In the
vicinity had been cut away, or left to
grow in such a way as once being
ignited TO endanger the dry wooden
structure; In short If the tinbers
caught from the grass or were set on
fire by incendiaries, 1t would seem
within lhe reach of intelligent, imp If.
tial investigation 10 fad tt out with
sufficient clearuess to fix the respon,i.
bility Of the companies 10 the premises.
In the meantime q LOUD public demand
will doubtless arise for i general recon.
